KDE Plasma Widget for external monitor brightness adjustment

I've user Lunar for quite a while, then moved to MonitorControl, and am now on BetterDisplay, which notably includes DDC/CI over the M1 HDMI ports.

Also its ability to fake screens of arbitrary resolutions e.g for headless machines is solid gold.

Yes, BetterDisplay got DDC support on HDMI M1 soon after its dev learned that I added it in Lunar: https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay/issues/1361

I’m friends with Istvan (the BetterDisplay dev) from the time he was a Lunar user, and we usually share implementation details for non-Pro features.

I must concur with sibling comment by sausajez, and say thank you for sharing knowledge and code between the "competing" projects! I feel like everyone is better off this way.

Can I just say... such a healthy way to help the ecosystem but retain distinguishing features
